Chapter 462 Zhang Taiyue’s Ambition

"Old man, what else do you want to do?"

Not to mention Zhao Yu, even Erha on the side was aroused by Zhang Wei's curiosity.

In the blink of an eye, millions of guardsmen disappeared like clouds of smoke, but looking at the old man's posture, it seemed that he had no intention of stopping at all.

“In the previous dynasty, when Emperor Taizu founded the country, he exempted those who were famous in the world from taxes, as well as their relatives and nobles. This was not yet apparent during the time of Emperor Taizu.

However, after hundreds of years of reproduction, the number of these people has far exceeded what the people of the Central Plains can bear.

And after so many years, a large amount of land is in the hands of these people, leaving civilians with no land to cultivate and can only become tenants and refugees!"

"You...you are really crazy!"

This time, even Afa's eyes widened in shock at these words.

He comes from the Baolong clan, after all, he is not comparable to mud-legged guys like Zhao Yu and Erha.

The tax and land system for nobles in the world were not just established by the previous dynasty or the new dynasty, but had been in place since the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors.

The nobles and nobles of the world are naturally supported by the people of the world. This is the truth!

But now the old man in front of me, who is looking at the earth buried in his neck, actually threatens to break this truth!

"The vassal princes, honorable nobles, and nobles all have a certain number of tax-free acres. However, over the past hundreds of years, tax avoidance has become commonplace. This has caused all the land in the world to gradually come into the hands of honorable nobles...

"

Zhang Wei was talking eloquently, and a sickly flush appeared on his face.

"You want to re-measure the acres?"

Zhao Yu didn't wait for Zhang Wei to finish, raised his eyebrows slightly and continued: "Then do you still want to implement the provincial inspection and evaluation system for officials in the two capitals and thirteen provinces after the land measurement? Do you still want to implement the return of mulberry fields to farmers?

"

"Um?!"

This time, it was Zhang Wei's turn to be shocked.

He had thought about the things Zhao Yu said, and some of them were just vague concepts. No one should know about them except himself!

"No wonder Master Zhao was able to reach this point in just one year from the position of District Inspection Department 100 households!!"

After Zhang Wei was frightened, he stood up and bowed sincerely to Zhao Yu.

Zhao Yu's words can no longer be described as insightful. Even I just have a thought and I know that the people of Jinyiwei... are all so fierce?

Seeing Zhang Wei admit it, Zhao Yu scratched his head, looked at Zhang Wei again and asked: "I have to ask, is your name really Zhang Wei? Do you have another name?"

"No?"

Zhang Wei was stunned for a moment, and then said seriously: "I have been called by this name since I was born. But when I won the second place in the imperial examination, Enshi took the name and called it 'Taiyue'."

"Zhang Taiyue?"

"yes!"

Zhao Yu looked at Zhang Wei and nodded immediately. Isn't this right...

"Please also ask Mr. Zhao and Mr. General Manager to lend a helping hand to the new dynasty!"

After saying this, Zhang Wei stood up, bowed and bowed deeply to Zhao Yu and A Fa.



"Sir, the new emperor has sent a decree to summon you to the palace immediately!"

Just as a few people were planning what to do next, the middle-aged man who had brought Zhao Yu here knocked on the door of the inner hall.

"Did something happen?"

Zhang Wei glanced at his entourage and asked softly.

"The eunuch who delivered the message didn't say anything. He only said that the new emperor calls you to the palace as soon as possible to see him!"

The attendant bent down slightly and replied in a low voice.

At this moment, a guard wearing a new embroidered spring knife walked in.

"Sir, Commander An received the order and went to the palace to meet the saint. He specially sent his subordinates to invite Master Zhao to go with him!"

Jin Yiwei came to Zhao Yu, clasped his fists and said in a deep voice.

Zhang Wei and Zhao Yu looked at each other, and then they both saw doubts in each other's eyes.

"knew!"

Zhao Yu waved his hand, then stood up and looked at Ah Fa.

"I still have something to do in the Bingzhang Department!"

Afa stood up and left the courtyard without looking back.



After two sticks of incense, Zhao Yu and Zhang Wei arrived outside Chengtian Gate together. From a distance, they saw An Jianqing had been waiting for a long time.

"Commander An, do you know why Your Majesty summoned us to the palace to meet the Holy Spirit?"

Zhang Wei took a step forward, raised his hands to An Jianqing and asked.

"Looking back at Lord Shoufu, it seems that a few foreign merchants have arrived, and His Majesty is receiving them at Fengtian Hall!"

Foreign merchants?

Zhao Yu became interested when he heard An Jianqing's words.

The three of them entered Chengtianmen and followed Zhenlong Road to the outside of Fengtian Hall.

At this moment, in the Fengtian Hall, in addition to several heads of the Ministry of Rites, there were four blond and blue-eyed foreign businessmen.

"Your Majesty, Zhang Wei, the chief minister of the cabinet, and An Jianqing, the commander of the Jinyiwei, and Mr. Zhao are waiting outside the palace."

The eunuch who delivered the order quickly walked past the crowd and came to the foot of the Kowloon steps and said softly.

"Xuan!"

Jiang Yuyan raised her hand slightly, and the eunuch who delivered the order immediately bowed and retreated.

After a while, Zhao Yu and the others walked into Fengtian Hall.

"Hello,&%%¥#..."

In the main hall, the foreign businessmen were chattering, while the head of the Ministry of Rites beside him was sweating on his head.

However, the two parties were talking at the same time and had no idea what the other party was talking about.

Although some people in the Ministry of Rites also knew some foreign languages, the speech of these people in front of them was completely different from that of the Nanyang businessmen they had interacted with before.

"Your Majesty, they may have come to the Central Plains to do business, and they probably brought their local specialties..."

Seven or eight directors of the Ministry of Rites studied it for a long time before they came up with a rough idea.

Zhao Yu stood aside and looked at these foreign businessmen.

Don't be crazy, he can only understand the meaning of a few words. For him, who only cheated to get through the fourth grade of college, he is worse than those two swords from the Ministry of Etiquette.

"Souvenirs? Let them bring them to the temple to see..."

Zhao Yu was obviously also interested, and immediately gave instructions to several people from the Ministry of Rites.

Several people were stunned for a moment, then looked up at His Majesty the New Emperor. Seeing Jiang Yuyan nodding, one of them explained with gestures and words.

The foreigners looked at each other and then ordered their entourage to take the things into Fengtian Hall.

The foreign merchant standing in the first position walked to a tray, lifted up the red silk and displayed the contents on the tray.

"chili?!"

When Zhao Yu saw the items in the tray, he immediately glared.

No wonder I have been in this world for more than a year and always feel like something is missing...

Now I see the chili peppers brought by foreign merchants, and now I understand.

"Since Mr. Zhao knows this thing, he understands its function, right?"

Zhang Wei looked at Zhao Yu and was really frightened. There seemed to be nothing in the world that the young man in front of him didn't know.

"I know a little bit..."
